Description

SQL statements to be run immediately after a database connection has been established.

This is mainly used for setting some state on the connection that needs to be shared across all scripts, or should not be included into any one script.

This could effectively be considered an environment specific afterConnect callback.

Please note that this parameter defines an "Initial SQL command," not an "Initialization SQL command." It may be executed multiple times, as it runs immediately after each database connection is established.

Type

String

Default

none
